I do not normally really collect Clear glass, BUT because this did have a label on it and signed on the bottom with *something* -- I decided to purchase it. Smaller heavy type of vase with a etched Swan on it. Bought it here at a local Auction -- a place here in town here that has lots of glass sometimes at their Sales.

Can anyone tell me more about as to what the writing is on the bottom, the age......and just any info at all. Any age to it?

Is the glass a pale blue - many of their pieces are but there is a whole range of items similar to Orrefors pieces. Attached are a few of mine. Have to Agree with Ivo - their pieces are moreish. The crackle one seems to be unusual.

very nice piece Rose - pity the sun was overhead at the time . Couldn't resist including another example, and think the pale blue is very attractive. You will find lots of references for Strombershyttan on the GMB search - and doubtless there is reams on the www.

And from the other side of the pond. Both of these are blocks with pressed backgrounds then engraved with a single figure. The Owl simply reads 9251-C1222 while the Eskimo has multiple info. 9/222, R. Strand, L.Swalm. The blocks are large, Owl weighs 4 1/2 lbs. while the Eskimo weighs 6 1/2 lbs. I assume they are just sculptures of some sort. Ken
